I know I've talked about this before, but I really really want to be bilingual. I would like to know French or Japanese or both. Maybe Sloveen so I could talk to Alex. Definitely not Spanish. And definitely not German. Yikes. I forget sometimes that I have this burning desire to be more accessible to those who I could speak, to become more than the average American, to expand my knowledge of other cultures; and amidst these thoughts the occasional reminder will come up and scream, "YOU ONLY KNOW ENGLISH FOR A REASON, YOU MORON!" as if I didn't already know that. I usually ignore the screaming reminder, but this last time 2 days ago...I sang along.
Meet Malajube. They have a few hits, but Montreal -40C is particularly catchy.
You'll notice immediately they are singing in French. And if you are anything like me, you want to know what the words mean, right? Right. So I've taken the time to make a quick google search just for you, my valiant readers:
Much too poor for pills,
I however make (can afford?) the whore - I am null
and all these things which I ejaculate,
I run against the clock (time?)
I run but I come back
Montreal you are so cold,
a polar bear in the bus
I take as a starting point worse to enrich me
and I love you so much that I hallucinate
papapapapadapada
I overlook your arrogance
you keep the rhythm
you put to me in a trance
papapapapadapada
I have what I deserve
and which pleasure
Your face on my magazine
your prize list of concubines
Montreal you are so cold,
a polar bear in the bus
I take as a starting point worse to enrich me
and I love you so much that I hallucinate
The cat purrs (whirrs?)
and you speak in your sleep
and yet me
I do not manage to close my eyes
Nothing too extraordinary but I'm keeping these guys on my playlist.
